The General's Darling Is Delicate-Chapter 273 - 174: You Disgust Me to the Core!

As Yun Chunnuan had expected, when divided into five or ten parts, the potato sprouts’ recovery speed gradually declined, but as long as you waited patiently, you could see their growth.

More than twenty potatoes were collected by Yun Chunnuan one by one.

Next was to dissolve the Blood Beads into the bucket of water.

The two of them squatted in front of several potato sprouts that had been watered with the Blood Bead water, waiting for an unknown period, and the sound of a man’s light snore came from beside her.

Those few sprouts showed no signs of regaining vitality.

Yun Chunnuan thought of when the Barbarian General soaked in the bath, and several Blood Beads fell into the water. He soaked for a long time before the scars on his body showed slight fading.

She had just added only one bead into the water; perhaps it was diluted too much and had no effect?

Or does it take a long time to react?

Yet, faced with a whole three ridges of land, the remaining Blood Beads were completely insufficient...

Looking at the three Blood Beads left in her hand, excluding the two hidden ones, it was evidently a supply shortage.

She lowered her eyes, gazing at the red ring on her forefinger that had long disappeared, silently making a decision in her heart.

"Husband."

She whispered gently.

The man beside her immediately woke up, "How is it? Are they all..."

Seeing Xiaojiao’s clear black and white eyes filled with disappointment, Yelyu Lie swallowed his next words.

"It’s okay, adding it to the water might take some time to work. I’ll stay here and wait with you. Don’t be upset, okay."

He didn’t know when he fell asleep, feeling a bit annoyed.

As he softly comforted Xiaojiao, she smiled with plump lips, comforting him back, "I’m not upset. At least we can still cultivate new seed potatoes."

She shook the potatoes wrapped in her outer garment and whispered, "Let’s go home. Tomorrow, you should return to the military camp and rest early."

"I won’t..."

"You can’t say no. I don’t want my husband to delay the major affairs of the camp because of me. The Chu Qing Country is stirring restlessly, and who knows when they’ll attack. If you’re not there, how will the soldiers have their backbone?"

Every day, Yelyu Lie would come back and talk to his little wife about the changing political winds in court, so Yun Chunnuan knew the tense relations between the two countries inside out.

Just that sentence had grasped Yelyu Lie’s lifeline.

But he was still somewhat concerned, "Can you manage alone? I’m afraid that without me by your side, there will be no one for you to turn to when you’re upset."

His little darling would only shed tears in front of him.

Any other time, no matter what adversity she faced, she remained exceptionally strong.

Even the hooligans on Lower Street had been tamed by her.

People kept trying to visit recently, saying they wanted his little wife to also give them a way to make a living.

After all, the lives of the Sha Hai Country’s people were becoming more prosperous by the day.

So many in Bianliao were envious.

It just verified what his little wife had said: One day, they would come to beg her on their knees!

The incident on Lower Street infuriated Yelyu Lie after he heard about it later, wanting to arrest everyone, but was stopped by Xiaojiao when she found out.

With a slight lift of her chin, she had said those words to him.

The sparkle in her eyes made Yelyu Lie feel inferior for the first time.

Those people were originally mountain bandits who, after being caught by the Government, were banished to Lower Street.

It wasn’t that they didn’t want to leave the Royal City, but the house arrest order was there, and no one could leave.

Yelyu Lie initially wanted those people to join the army, but several women kept causing disturbances, frustrating him into imprisoning them all.

When released, they pulled the same tricks again.

Coupled with their obstinance, no matter what punishment was dealt, they remained lazy and unrepentant.

If they couldn’t be let go, he feared that one day he might lose his temper and cut down those damned scoundrels!

The strategist’s suggestion was: banish them back to Lower Street, never to leave the city, because once outside the General’s jurisdiction, the local Government couldn’t handle those ruffians.

Expect them to defend the homeland?

It’d be lucky if they didn’t become lackeys!

Thus, after struggling for about half a year, Yelyu Lie ended up banishing them back to Lower Street.

The house arrest order started from then on.

As a General of Bianliao, he had once sworn that the blade would never aim at the people of Bianliao.

Those damned scoundrels seemed to take it as a decree, behaving arrogantly.

Yelyu Lie was too lazy to bother any longer, letting them fend for themselves.
